not feel it in my heart to thank him.
Nv hen was strong enough to hear it, he
told me that he was awakened in the night by
the peculiar and loud neighing of horse He
looked out of the window and saw sight that
startled him--a ghostly horse and sleigh and
driver in the road before his door, He recov-
cred himself and went down. Then he discov-
cred that the driver was dead. He quickly
carried the driver into the house, laid him on
the floor before the fireplace and recognized
me. Knowing that even il was not beyond
all aid, nothing could be done for me until the
robe and clothing were thawed, he made the fire
blaze and hurried to the rescue of the faithful
ana intelligent horse that had reasoned with
itself that it must stop at the first house it
came to on that terrible night, and that life
and death depended on it. BY the time the
horse was cared for was in shape to be re-
suscitated in case any such thing could be
done. Twas stripped and rubbed briskly with
snow and snow water for more than an hour
before gave any evidence that I might be
called back Then another hour was spent in
the same treatment, when spoonful of brandy
was poured down my throat. After that the
circulation was started, and my agony began.
That suffering lasted for an hour, and--Well,
can say this: Freeze to death if you want.
You'll like it. But don't let anybody fetch
you to again"

THE TURNER'S PARABE.

commencement of the Safe funniest
Welcomed Heartily by MerIden PeO-
plea Large Parade - New Haven
Turner'S in Line.
MER1DEN, Aug. 20.-To-day witnessed the
commencement of another big time for Meri-
den Hardly had the din of the State Fire
mems parade passed, but not forgotten, than
the people are to be given another treat and
for few days everything will be unusually
active in this lively little city. The State
funniest began here tonight amid scenes
that were gay and beautiful. It was the an
nual funniest.
There are Turner's present from New Ha-
ven, Hartford, Holyoke, Waterbury, Spring
field, New Britain, Bridgeport, South Nor
walk, Derby, Birmingham, Ansonia, Collins
vile, Rockville and also those from this city.
The latter met the visiting bodies at the
depot as they arrived. The stores of nearly
all the German residents were decorated in
some manner, very becoming to behold. It
looked in the early part of the evening as if
all the preparations for the torchlight parade
which had been arranged would have to go
for naught. It commenced to rain about six
o'clock. Good fortune stretched forth her
kind arm and smiled on the Turner's. The
rain stopped falling. Then everyone of the
AOcSAy
for the parade which they had feared would
have to be postponed.
At 9 o'clock the torchlight procession
started. The grand marshal was Fred
Kraemmer. His aids were Herman Kraem-
mer, August Anschutz, Gotlieb Anschutz,
Herman Bench, q. Wuskowitz, Otto Siebert,
Emil Kroeber and W. Lepper. The parade
moved along the principal streets. People
crowded the sidewalks and the city seemed
to be thoroughly alive to the occasion. Be-
tween two and three hundred Turner's
The applause was frequent. The
marshal and his assistants were attired in
costumes especially for this occasion. They
an elegant appearance and there
were many remarks of praise passed by the
thousands on their looks. The playing of the
band was pleasant feature. The parade
was complete and unqualified success and
was highly spoken of by those who saw it. A
fine display of fireworks was given at the
close of the parade. Mayor Davis made the
address of welcome to the visiting societies.
Michael Oemnger, president of the home So
eiety, delivered an address in German. He

NEW YORK, Aug. 90.
The speculation in stocks to day was sluggish,
without material change in prices The opening
was little lower, in sympathy with the decline in
Londen, and throughout the dealings the tendency
was downward until near the Close The move
ment was small, however. and the final declines
rarely exceeded Is per cent? except in the of
few specalties which suffered heavier losses. This
volume of business small, partly ON account of
the usual Saturday half holiday and also on &C.
count of a common apprehension Of some unknown
disaster. The rumors which were circulated were
vague and of the most indefinable character, but
there doubt that they served to repress trading
and to check any advance. The publication Of the
bank statement rather strengthened the market
and many leading stocks closed at rally from their
lowest prices It was noticeable that the weakness
in the Gould stocks was continued, and, although
the business in them was not large the final de-
clfnes important, they were conspicuous by refus-
ing to respond to the better feeling the end.
Western Unisn closed IL per cent. lower, at nearly
Its bottom price, and among the leading stocks this
decline not exceeded, excepting by Northern

opening and closed n per cent. lower. The largest
business was in New England, which also declined

THE POSTAGE STAMP.
Coming Changes In the stamped Env


opes.
A Washington dispatch says: There seems
to be decided misunderstanding concerning
the intentions of the Postofice department
with reference to the changes in the series of
adhesive stamps. Major Howard, chief of
the stamp division of the department, says
that ths only change of any kind in the de-
tached stamps will be in the two cent stamp.
This is at present metallic red. About the
middle of September all those issued from
the department will be green. The reason of
this change is that until the minimum rate
of letter postage was reduced to two cents
the color of the stamp most generally used,
namely, the three cent, was green and the
postoffice officials think that that color
gave more general satisfaction to the public
than any other 1t was the intention of the
department to MAKE numerous other changes
in the co1ors of adhesive stamps at the same
time that the change in the two cent variety
is to go into effect, but it was found that
the contractors have large supply of the
| current series on hand, and if the colors are
ordered changed at once it will entail seri-
GUS loss upon them. For this reason the
changes contemplated will be orded as fast as
the supply of each denomination Is exhausted.
The following changes in the impressed
stamps on stamped envelopes have been Or
dered to go into effect as soon as the contrac-
tors can get the stock ready:

There will be some slight changes in the
designs of the /, 2, 4 and cent impressed
stamps, but the only radical change will be
in the cent stamp. In this case the adhe-
sive stamp will portray the head of Garfield,
while the impressed stamp of the cent
envelope will bear likeness of Grant.
One of the reasons which led to the deter
mination to change the series is the friendly
rivalry now existing among all nations by
which each is trying to put out the most
handsome series of postage stamps. Then,
too, it was found that the colors now in use
in the adhesive varieties could not be repro-
dueed with very good effect on the envelopes,
as the inks used have different effect on
the peculiar paper used for the stamps than
upon the heavier paper of the envelopes. 1t
is the intention of the department to ulti-
mately make the two kinds of stamps as near
ly identical as possible.
